A Writer's Prayer

I came across the following writer's prayer at http://www.29lincolnavenue.comAs a writer, this is the prayer of my heart. But really, couldn't we all whisper the words of this prayer for whatever ways we communicate (phone, email, online, in person) throughout our days?

{THIS} WRITER'S PRAYER

Lord,

First make me a listener. Give me ears to hear what you are speaking. Shut out the noise all around and let it be your voice that rises above every other.

I ask for eyes to see the world brand new every day. Let the miraculous lovely rise up out of the crazy busy and may it be like a snapshot of life frozen before me. May I see IT. May I see You, daily.

Help me, Jesus, to never stop learning what you are teaching. Let me alway sit in the classroom of grace and write every lesson on my heart.

And when I do write, give me the gift of hesitation with consideration. Remind me Lord, to insert a holy pause before I publish, anything – be it a blog post, a letter, a tweet, or status update. Whisper in my ear, “Does this bring Me glory?”

Hi Stacy,

I have enjoyed reading your blog during my current season of waiting. Thank you! I was also blessed by this poem so much so that I decided to title my blog www.MiraculousLovely.com. Just wanted to share that with you. God bless! Nancy

In Its Time

I am a wife, a mother and a saved-by-grace writer who is learning to rest in the truth that He makes everything beautiful in its time. I write about the One whose timing and ways and plans I do not understand, but who gives joy in the midst of waiting and brings beauty out of ashes.
